Sweet Salty PoKe — Restaurant in Gardena

before we get to the food, i wanted to note that i really appreciate when restaurants are clean and this place was not only clean but i liked the simple interior.

the system is pretty straight forward and is like all other poke places. get your base, proteins, toppings, + sauce.

there were a couple things i found unique about sweet salty poke. one is their additional base option, kale noodles (+$1) which i found surprising good. i didn’t expect to like it as much as i did and thought it could be a good option for people who are not feeling hot rice with their poke or for those who are noodle fans like me. the second was their sauce combo. as recommended by the employee i tried sauce combo no. 6 full of joy which is their spicy mayo + house sauce + sweet chili (a sweet salty house made sauce) + sesame oil. it was delicious. it was a perfect blend of salty, sweet, & spicy and i loved it. quick side, their miso soup is also good.

and if you’re not convinced with all that, just know you will get your money’s worth because their portions are huge. they don’t skimp which i appreciate cause eating out adds up, especially in this inflation. whether you prioritize quality or quantity it doesn’t really matter because it’s a w for both kinds of people.

hope this review is helpful, if not i promise this wasn’t more than 5 mins of...

We had a halfsalad half kale noodle base with “Full of Joy” sauce combination recommended bythe restaurant, which was great. They have a usual selection of sauces, butalso offer a nice combination alternatives posted on a little sheet.  I felt that they were going out of their wayto please their customers. It is also very reasonably priced, though on their websitethey have old rates, and the actual costs are a little higher. Overall, veryhappy with the food and...

This place is similar in concept to a Panda Express - pick any 2/3 protein items, add starch, etc - but, the food is anything but. I got a small bowl with spicy tuna and salmon and a bunch of veggies (you can get as many as you want) with brown rice. The rice was a bit dry (as brown rice is often wont to be), but otherwise the mix was excellent. The person preparing my meal suggested keeping the spicy tuna separate from the salmon (normally they mix everything together by hand). I am not sure that made much of a difference since I was eating all of them together. Overall, a good experience and I am certainly inclined to...
